Variety reports that Kat Dennings has been cast opposite Josh Lucas in the independent film Daydream Nation.
The movie will be directed by Michael Golbach from a script he wrote. It starts shooting in Vancouver on Saturday.
Daydream Nation follows a disaffected high school senior who gets deposited "along with her widowed father in a desolate Canadian hamlet where boredom leads her into an affair with a teacher and into a more promising romance with a druggie teen."
